Cultural Understanding through Music

Like most cultures, Noongar culture is complex. Fully understanding a culture isn’t a simple walk in the bush, however, there are ways in which we can collectively start people on their journeys of understanding.

The need for cultural understanding is forever growing as our societies become more complex with an array of ancient cultures being acknowledged and new cultures being created everyday.

One of the most effective ways of generating cultural understanding is through music. We believe that through the correct medium of presentation we are able to affectively achieve the much needed epiphanies of comprehension and more importantly, compassion.

'.....I felt so privileged to have you and your two choir members working with our choir today. The children loved it. The choir was a bit subdued at first. They soon warmed up thanks to your experience and gentle way with them. I was so taken by Tori and Kobi. Their expertise was amazing, but their way with the children was beautiful. What wonderful representatives of their people they are.' - Margaret Alderson, Primary School Music Specialist -
